The Farmer Wants A Wife star is caught pretending where he lives as Channel Seven films a different property for his scenes on the dating show
A Farmer Wants a Wife star has been caught using someone else’s farm to woo her contestants on the dating show.
Dairy farmer Harry, was featured on the show as owning a farm in Gloucester, NSW, but The Herald Sun has since revealed his real estate is over 900km away in Kyabram in the north of Victoria.
Seven confirmed the farm Harry used was not his estate property in a statement to Daily Mail Australia, but insisted the show was not misleading viewers or potential partners.

“Due to Covid, part of the Harry’s Farmer Wants A Wife journey was filmed on a dairy farm near Gloucester,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
“The location of the farm didn’t impact the series as Harry’s ladies were able to experience life on a dairy farm with Harry, including early morning departures.”
Interestingly, the dating series never refers to the farm as its own, with voiceovers instead referring to “Farmer Harry” when the show cuts to its storyline.
His farm was actually located more than 900 kilometers from the property filmed in the show, according to The Herald Sun.
This isn’t the first time the show has been accused of making fun of viewers’ eyes by filming scenes in “fake” locations.
Last year, a viewer who lives in Orbost, the small Victorian town where farmer Matt Trewin is based, claims he’s never even seen the so-called ‘local date destinations’ featured on the show .
After watching Matt enjoy a date at his ‘local pub’, the frustrated viewer wrote on Instagram: ‘I live in Orbost and can tell you the pub in tonight’s episode is definitely not not the Orbost pub.”

The resident went on to allege that the quaint winery where Matt took Tara on a date “wouldn’t be less than 100km from Orbost either.”
Elsewhere, the same viewer accused the producers of bringing in paid actors to “liven up” the pub scene, saying none of the “locals” featured in the episode were “Orbost people”.
Farmer Wants A Wife continues on Channel Seven on Sunday at 7 p.m.
